In 2017 I tested my first gaming chair. Since then I have placed my rear part of test purposes on countless chairs. Some were comfortable, others too deep and a few even got on my knees.
My one -year test for the Herman Miller has recently come to an end.Right onto theOne - and he finally taught me that I no longer want to sit (longer) without synchronous mechanics.
What does the synchronous mechanism do?
Explains the function very quickly: The synchronous mechanism ensures that the seat and the back of a desk chair move in a certain ratio.
The advantage of synchronous mechanics are:
✅Back friendly:Supports a natural sitting position and relieves the spine.
✅Ergonomic:If the movements of the body adapts and reduces the pressure on the intervertebral discs.
✅Promotes movement:Prevents rigid sitting and improves blood circulation.
The last point becomes particularly clear when you consider the seesaw mechanics. The seat and back always move here in parallel. As a result, you stay in the same position when leaning back.
The synchronous mechanics are often overlooked
If you are looking for an office or gaming chair, which factors do you pay attention to?
- Type of covering
- Hard or soft upholstery
- Back height
- Pillow
- Optics
There are dozens of specifications, but whether a stool has rocker or synchronous mechanics, probably very few. I suspect primarily because you only become aware of your strengths when you have tried the difference yourself.
I myself had completely underestimated her myselfWhich is certainly due to the fact that the focus is not necessarily the focus of gaming chairs. It just comes from the office chair segment. The first chair with synchronous mechanics was loudWikipediaIncidentally, in the mid -1970s. A automatic synchronic system was added in 1980.
For years I was sitting on a sub -optimal desk chair.By testing several chairs, the crux has shown me: the seesaw mechanics. Not only did I always sit the same, my legs did not always touch the ground - fatal. Only with the beginning of mineAfter all, improvement occurs thanks to the synchronous mechanics.
Is synchronous mechanics expensive?
No, there are office chairs with synchronous mechanics, the price of which starts at less than 100 euros (viaGeizhals). Gaming chairs with synchronous mechanics are availableGeizhalsfrom around 200 euros.
So if you want, you can get the feature relatively inexpensively.However, be aware that other factors also play into a healthy seating position like a adaptable lordosis support. The synchronous mechanism is just one of them.
I have already tested several office and gaming chairs with synchronous mechanics. If you have the necessary budget, the following two models are my personal recommendation:
- , from 400 euros:The chair is pleasantly straightforward and has a wide seat and back next to the synchronous mechanism.
- , from 700 euros:In all my tests, this is the chair that was most customized. Many freedoms, very well made and 10 years of guarantee on top.
I'm sitting on my desk chair for hours, A healthy attitude and changing the seating position are extremely important to me. Therefore, I no longer compromise: Synchronous mechanics have to be for me.
If someone asks me which a property he or she should pay attention to with an office or gaming chair, I will always refer to the synchronous mechanics in the future.
